Said paint shop comprises a transport path (4) for transporting components (2) to be painted through the paint shop, a painting robot (13, 16) for painting the components (2) and a travel path (12, 15) for positioning the painting robot (13, 16) along the travel path (12, 15). The invention is characterized in that the travel path (12, 15) of the painting robot (13, 16) extends at a right angle to the transport path (4) for the components (2) to be painted. The invention also relates to a corresponding method of operation.
